50 Kissmet Raspberry Coneflower Seeds - Echinacea Perennial Flower

Kissmet Raspberry Coneflower is a distinctive Echinacea variety prized for its unusual raspberry-pink blooms and prominent, cone-shaped centers. This perennial flower brings long-lasting color to borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator plantings, and its sturdy stems make it a useful choice for cut flower arrangements. Coneflowers are well known for attracting bees and butterflies while adding texture and movement to the summer garden.

Easy to grow from seed, Kissmet Raspberry Coneflower returns year after year in suitable climates and pairs well with ornamental grasses, black-eyed Susans, and other sun-loving perennials. The plants establish gradually, developing deep roots that help them tolerate periods of dry weather once they are settled in the garden.

Planting & Care

Sow Kissmet Raspberry Coneflower seeds indoors in late winter or early spring, pressing them lightly into the surface of a moist seed-starting mix. Keep the medium consistently moist but not soggy and provide warmth and bright light. Germination can be uneven, so be patient and maintain steady conditions. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, harden them off gradually before transplanting outdoors.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water young plants regularly during their first season to help them establish, then reduce watering as they mature. Deadheading spent blooms can encourage continued flowering, while leaving some seed heads in place provides winter interest and food for birds.
